- Slice eggplant into slices about half an inch thick. Sprinkle with coriander, cumin, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and smear it on with your hands. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and grill on a medium-hot grill, about 4 minutes per side. If you like more spice, whisk a little hot pepper into the olive oil before drizzling. Aleppo pepper is an authentic Middle Eastern one, or a little Harissa paste. Cayenne or other hot pepper works fine if that's what's on hand. Each eggplant serves 3-4.

This side goes well with any meat you might also be grilling. Thanks to the Cajun seasoning, the zesty eggplant gets more attention than an ordinary veggie. —Greg Fontenot, The Woodlands, Texas
